The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers,
as we'll rs relieving the burden Of
home manufacturers. Especially is
this the case with Green's August
Flower and Roscbee's German Syrup.
as the reduction Of thirty-six cents per
dozen, has been added TO increase he
size Of the bottles containing these
remedies. thereby giving one-fifth
more medicine in the IS cent size. The
August Flower for Dyspepsia and

Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles,
have perhaps, the largest sale Of any

Jail Delivery.

About noon Tuesday the prisoners
confined In the county Jail at Billings
made their escape by making an open
ing through the floor Of the jail large
enough for them to crawl through.
Five prisoners made their escape and
Of these two were re-captured. The
jail consists of a large room In the
sheriff's house, which is built Of brick
with stone foundation, in the center
Of which are the two-story iron cages
in which the prisoners are confined at
night. Around this cage is passage
about five feet wide with . board
floor. In one corner Of this room In
the outside passage an empty barrel
covered with a blanket had been
standing for several days. Under this
barrel was a square place In the
matched flooring that had evidently
been cut some time before for the pur-
pose of going under the floor. A piece
OF board had been laid across the joist
to support this and the flooring re-
placed. The prisoners had cut this
under board through the old crack ev-
identity with some small instrument.
Upon raising this up their way was
clear under the floor until reaching
the middle underpinning Of the foun-
dation. They got through this wall
by pushing out . large stone; they
then could reach the outside wall,
through which there was already
hole which had been made In making
some repairs; this with little enlarge
msnt enabled them to plss through to
the outside OF the building without
any difficulty. One Of the escaping
prisoners was the boy burglar Robert
Smith, the Minneapolis Kid" but
he was re-captured. A posse are out
after the other three, who are supposed
to have taken to the bluffs on the
north slde OF the river.

THE ODD FELLOWS.
Meeting of the Worlds Sover-
eign Grand Lodge at Denver,
Colorado This Week.
Interview with Sam Mott, of
the Pyke Opera Company
Billings Jail Delivery.



The Sovereign Grand Lodge of the
world, I. o. o. F.. assembled In Den.
yer September 10th, and is one Of the
most important events In the history
Of Denver. A state and city reception
was held at Odd Fellows hall and
after speeches by notables Of the state
and order. Grand Sire White was in.
troduced and said: 81 am sorry for
my hearers on account Of the manner
10 which / was introduced. / re-
csived q common school education. l
am not an orator and cannot talk to
you after the eloquent manner of the
the gentlemen who have preceded me
and to whom God in his wisdom has
vouchsafed eloquence and splendid
educations. / am only plain, blunt
man. 1 am not an equal to the occa.
sion. From the fullness of an over
flowing heart. and In behalf of half q
million members Of this order, thank
you most cordially for this reception
and magnificent display. You may
think that Colorado Is unkn ,wn to the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows,
but assure you that Colorado il
known wherever Odd Fellowship il
known. While the reception accorded
US In Boston in 1856 surpassed every
thing Of the kind have ever known,
this Is the first time in the history of
the Sovereign Grand Lodge that We
have received q continued ovation
from the beginning Of our trip TO the
present. In Missouri We were met by
our brethren and rendered Q cordisl
reception, and in Kansas 1t was one
cordial ovation. We we're met on the
confines of Colorado by your governor
and cordially welcomed. You may
not know what kind OF men we are.
We are not Of those who carry high
heads and strut through the great
cities; not those who are influential in
politics. We are just plain, common
men. There are few millionairts
among US, but they are, as rule, men
who have had to begin ut the bottom
of the ladder and worked up. Most Of
us have had TO hoe our own row. We
have worked at the forge, in the shJp
and Office. IL is time now to conclude
these exercises. We have work to do
and We came here to work. In conclu.
sion, We return thanks to the Odd Fell
lows and citizens Of Denver. Be as-
sured that as long as we live the name
of Colorado will remain with us.n

PyKE OPERA COMPANY In CAMP


Reporter. ~ understand Mr.. Mott
that you and your company had quite
nice time camping out this summer?
Well. rather. / never bad such a
delightful time in my life."
"Wss IL at Ceur d'Alene?"
mo, il is about half mile from
there at Fort Sherman, which Is on the
Ceur d'Alene Lake. A most beauti.
tul location, and under command Of
Gen. Csrlin, an excellent gentleman
and the most hospitable one / ever
met. In fact he could not have
treated US better had we belonged to
his own family"
Ibid you have two or more tents
and who did the cooking? Yourself?
Hardly, for had l done 1t We would
not have been in camp long. II WAS
like this. The company camped about
a half mile from the fort on the river
and had three large tents, one occu.
pied by the ladies, one by the gentle
men and the other for baggage. They
had two cooks and lived like kings"
"They, wasn't you with them?"
"No; we, that is, Mr.. Pyke, Miss
Winston, Miss Manfred. Miss Rey-
mold, Mr.. Martens, our musical con-
ductor and my wife and self, stopped
at the garrison, where we had one OF
the official houses and cooking uten-
sils placed at our disposal by General
Csrlin which faced on the parade
grounds. We also had our own cook.
Evenings after coming home from q
long hunt, and then enjoying o good
dinner, 1t was very pleasant TO cit out
on the verauda and enjoy a dress
parade Of some three hundred men,
after which we would be entertained
by an open air concert by the garrison

over one hundred yards from the
house to catch them"
"Did you get much game?n
swell, yes; plenty Of ducks and
grouse and four deer. Mr.. Pyke, who
Is q great sportsman, shot two. and
Mr.. Bertram, one Of our musicians,
shot one. and our conductor Mr.. Mar.
tens thought he shot one but II turned
out TO be calf"
Suppose some very funny things
occurred while at camp"
"Yes; for instance. one evening after
the bugler had sounded the go-to-bed
call and all the lights had been put
out, some Of our boys who had been to
town to get some lemonade and Ice
cream and things. came in contact
with one Of the guards on the out
skirts of the garrison who immedi-
ately called for the countersign. Not
knowing 1t and being either too full of
fear or lemonade, one Of them, who is q
German, when the guard made the
second call. who comes there ? ,
managed to answer, Dots der Pig
Opera Company That settled they
went on"
At the camp one evening one Of the
young ladies gave them quite scare
she was missed just about bed time.
and when 1t was thought about, she
was last seen in d passion and
had large carvingknife in her hand
the thought was suicide, one started
this way and that way and pistols
were fired five shots and the hunt kept
up for an hour when they returned
they found her lying in bed. She had
been making a call"
"Well this must have been quite an
expensive, luxury camping out with
so Tsny people,:
"Not at all; we betrayed our expen-
ses by playing once q week at the
Garrison by the way they have q
very nice little theatre, and we packed
It every time We gave a performance
and the entire receipts cleared all ex-
penses for the time we were in camp"
"Did you do any rehearsing while
In canp?
"Oh yes, We took piano from Spo.
kane Falls with US and the last two
weeks the company got up in two
new operas"
How did the company manage to
amuse themselves at night?"
well you see the orchestra at night
would bring out their instruments
and give an open air concert. The Of.
ficers and soldiers would visit them
and people from town would come out
and visit them and they employed
themselves very much every evening" "
when did you open the regular
season again."
Last Monday week in Helena, ard
1t has started most prosperous one.
We close there tonight, the troupe
playing at Billings, Miles City, Bis
marck, Jamestown, Fargo and then TO
Minneapolis. We return In about six
weeks to open the new opera house At
Helena. Good Night"
